One of the very best science fiction novels of all time. An intelligent and thought provoking allegory for the Vietnam War. Private William Mandella is a reluctant hero in an interstellar war against an unknowable and unconquerable alien enemy. But his greatest test will be when he returns home. Relativity means that for every few months' tour of duty centuries have passed on Earth, isolating the combatants ever more from the world for whose future they are fighting.
Readers can't stop thinking about The Forever War:'

this is easily its equal' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

an allegory for the horrors and hopelessness of war' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

military-flavoured bootcamp-to-war Science Fiction in its finest form, as
refreshing and thought provoking as it no doubt was when it was released in 1974 . . .
a landmark classic of Science Fiction' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

the horrors of war and those of personal traumatic injury,
